Afterthought

In the dead of summer

Sun in your eyes

I’ll always wonder

How you spend your nights

I think about callin’

But then I think twice

Cause maybe you’re past it

And maybe I’m right

By the time the colors fade

You should be gone without a trace

Still I can’t walk out the door

Without thinkin we coulda done more

Without wishin’ it wasn’t cut short

Stuck in before

You went and found a new life

The one that they told you was right

You’ll always be everything I want

And I’ll just be an afterthought

I try to forget em'

The Friday night lights

But I still see you in em

When I close my eyes

Every time the colors fade

I know for you it ain't the same

Still I can’t walk out the door

Without thinkin' we coulda done more

Without wishin’ it wasn’t cut short

Stuck in before

You went and found a new life

The one that they told you was right

You’ll always be everything I want

And I’ll just be an afterthought

Maybe it’s not

What I thought it was

Wish I could stop

Cause ya don’t give me much

Of a chance and I don’t think you ever will

Now still I can’t walk out the door

Without thinkin' we coulda done more

Without wishin’ it wasn’t cut short

Stuck in before

You went and found a new life

The one that they told you was right

You’ll always be everything I want

And I’ll just be an afterthought
